Why Raw Rocks!
Plants, seeds and nuts provide a wealth of compounds that defend us in a variety of ways from free radicals. Phytochemicals (phyto: the Greek word for “plant”) act as an internal defense mechanism for plants against natural predators like pests, pathogens, and hostile environmental condition. Fortunately, when we consume them, their good deeds continue on our behalf.
Phytochemicals support optimal health, they are little soldiers inside of us fighting for our wellbeing. Plants possess very valuable enzymes, myrosinase and alliinase, which are responsible for converting phytochemicals into highly beneficial bioactive metabolites (breakdown mechanisms). These enzymes are key to proper digestion enabling the body to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients available in our foods.
For these reasons, and many others, consuming foods which are minimally processed, prepared at temperatures below 118 degrees, and Organic are essential to our health and wellbeing. For these reasons, eating raw foods rocks!
